High risk. 7 critical or high findings in Network security, Security headers and 1 other check.

Security score

45/100

Risk levelHigh

0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

innovAARE AG operates the Park Innovaare, a high-tech innovation and industrial park in Switzerland focused on accelerating deep-tech research and commercialization. The park provides modern office, laboratory, and specialized research spaces, along with community and networking services to startups, SMEs, and R&D departments. The website is professionally designed, content-rich, and well-structured, targeting innovation ecosystem participants. Technically, the site uses TYPO3 CMS with modern frontend libraries and is hosted by cyon AG. However, a critical security gap is the lack of HTTPS/SSL, exposing users to risks. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. Business credibility is strong with clear contact details and legal information.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet · found on this site
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Park Innovaare is positioned as a key innovation hub within the Switzerland Innovation network, collaborating with major partners like ESA and Microsoft. Its business model centers on providing infrastructure and acceleration services to deep-tech companies. The target market includes startups, spin-offs, SMEs, and corporate R&D units. The park offers flexible rental spaces, specialized PSI facilities, and community amenities, supporting innovation from research to market. The website reflects a mature digital presence with good SEO and user experience, supporting its market positioning and growth ambitions.

Security posture

The website currently lacks HTTPS, which is a critical security vulnerability exposing data in transit to interception and manipulation. While some security headers are present, the absence of SSL/TLS, HSTS, and modern TLS protocols severely weakens the security posture. No explicit security policies or incident response information is provided. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. The site uses standard libraries without known vulnerabilities but lacks advanced security best practices. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS and related configurations is essential to protect users and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a valid SSL/TLS certificate and serve the site exclusively over HTTPS.
  2. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Upgrade TLS protocols to support TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 only, disabling older insecure versions.
  4. Configure strong cipher suites and enable OCSP stapling for certificate validation.
  5. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  6. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  7. Continue maintaining comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms.
  8. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS with a modern frontend stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Slick Carousel, and Fancybox. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. Hosting is managed by cyon AG with DNS configured accordingly. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and structured navigation. However, the lack of HTTPS and SSL/TLS support is a major technical deficiency. Performance metrics are unavailable, but the site uses caching headers and compression. Accessibility is basic but functional. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but requires urgent security upgrades to meet modern standards.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
